TMPGEnc: Error Using Script...

[loser79]

Hey, hopefully someone can help me out. I honestly have no idea what i'm doing... just experimenting I guess. Anyway, i'm trying to encode a video using this script.

ScriptClip("nf = YDifferenceToNext()" +chr(13)+ "unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ).TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1) ")

converttoyuy2()

Everytime I open it in TMPGenc I get this message that also gets put on the video itself.

Evaluate: Unrecognized Exception
([ScriptClip],Line1)

Any ideas? Sorry but i'm a complete noob when it comes to all of this. Thanks in advance.

What version of Avisynth do you have?

[loser79]

I'm using version 2.5

[Boulder]

But which one, v2.54 is the latest official version.

[loser79]

Sorry about that. I'm using the newest, v2.54

[Dialhot]

You use a DVD2AVI (or DGIndex) that does not match the version of mpeg2dec3 used by avisynth.

[loser79]

Hmmm... Okay, so what do I do now? Thanks for all the replies!

[Dialhot]

Remove DGindex if you have it. Remove mpeg2dec3dg.dll form the avisynth plugin directory if there is there.

Retrieve on the net mpeg2dec3.dll and DVD2AVI 1.76 (or 1.77.3) and use them !

[loser79]

Okay I downloaded version 1.77.3 of dvd2avi. I downloaded the mpeg2dec3.dll and then ran dvd2avi again. I'm still getting the same message. Any other ideas, or maybe something i missed?

[Dialhot]

Are you sure you have mpeg2dec3.dll and only this in your plugin directory ? No "mpeg2dec" nor "mpegdecoder'. Only mpeg2dec3 ?

[loser79]

Yep. I only have MPEG2Dec3.dll.

[Dialhot]

Maybe it's the unfilter plugin taht is not correct then.
I suggest you to purge your plugin directory (put the current cotnent elsewhere on your disc) and to put there only the file you need, and to be sure of the correct version installed.

[Boulder]

Check that the line is correctly written, maybe a line break is missing. Copy the 'official' version from here:

ScriptClip(" nf = YDifferenceToNext()" +chr(13)+ "unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ).TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1)  ")

I'd still rather use mode 2 in TemporalSoften:

ScriptClip(" nf = YDifferenceToNext()" +chr(13)+ "unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ).TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 2)  ")

Just put that all on the same line in your script and try it.

Well if we're heading this way..., I guess that loser79 needs to find the DGDecode.dll in the Avisynth's
plugin directory and remove it too, right?
Otherwise, even though he uninstalled DGMPGDec from his drive and reinstalled DVD2AVI 1.77.3,
he will have both DGDecode.dll and Mpeg2Dec3.dll in the plugins directory.
Now, in the presence of these two which one will be called by the Mpeg2Source command?
Better check it again that you only have Mpeg2Dec3.dll loser79
Cheers

You're right. I forgot that this dll was also renamed !

[loser79]

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the help. I followed all the suggestions and got it working. I changed so much that last time i'm not sure which thing exactly made the difference but it works now. Thanks again.

Hi Loser,
I just wanted to say that it really doesn't matter.
All that matters is that now it's working
Cheers

loser79
is working without change the positions in the script?
i see:
## Functions ###
################
function fmin( int f1, int f2) {
return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2
}
before:
# Script #
##########
MPEG2Source(movie)
#Resize, over scan and borders
undot()
Limiter()
asharp(1, 4)
...etc...
i don't knew that "functions" could be used in the begining before "script"

can you confirm that?..thanks.

[Dialhot]

In a lot of tool and programmating languages, functions must be declared before they are used ! That means that is you have a line with "Filter()" before you have the line 'function Filter() { ... body of the function ... }, you have an error.

Fortunally, avisynth does not work like this.
